​We are pleased to introduce our December Athlete of the Month, masters athlete Chris Rhame!

You will see him bright and early every morning at 5:30 AM with the rest of the bed head crew...unless there are wall balls programmed ;).

​At 40 years old and doing crossfit for several years he is still hitting PR's on the reg!

​What is your favorite WOD?​​Grace

​Least favorite WOD?​Karen

Why/how did you get started with CrossFit?​Noticed I had let myself fall into the "married dad bod" and couldn't even run around the soccer field with Ashley without stuggling to breathe. Heart disease runs through my family. I don't want to die from something I could've prevented.

What was your first WOD?​Fran--took me 17 minutes and was depressing. I thought I was more in shape having been in a boot camp for around 6 months prior.

What are the biggest changes to your life since starting CrossFit?​Obviously stronger now, but eating habits are the biggest change I think. I don't follow a "strict" diet but I know what works for me. I'm now more aware on portions and quality of the food I eat.

How do you handle the days that you don't/can't make it to the box?​Suck it up and go. I'm usually grumpy. After the WOD, and I've moved weight, I'm proud of myself that I didn't sleep in. Unless it's Karen, and then I just hit the snooze.

Do you have any advice for beginning CrossFitters?​Go. Everyday. Don't be afraid to scale. We are not games athletes, but consistency is what has given me the most results.

What are your hobbies or interests outside of CrossFit?​Anything with my girls outside, in the woods or on the water.

What is your super power?​I can make a package of Oreos disappear. Quickly.
